Breathe. Reconnect.
A Retreat for the Ones that Hold it Together Behind the Line.
This retreat gives law enforcement spouses a deeper understanding of how the career impacts their partner, so they can approach challenges with clarity and empathy, maintain their own emotional health, and stay connected to who they are outside of the badge.
We've created a retreat for both rest and learning. Led by someone who gets the culture, the silence, the stress - and the strength it takes to keep showing up.
Law enforcement spouses carry a unique load, and do not always get a space to just “be.” Finding balance for ourselves is essential.
So join us on Saturday, November 14, 2026 - We cannot wait to see you!
“Every aspect of the day felt intentional and well-planned. The space was inviting and facilitated good conversation. It was a validating experience to spend time with other spouses who are living a shared experience and able to give perspective on navigating this lifestyle.”
“The Grit & Grace Gathering was a wonderful experience.
While educational, there were times of relaxed communication and reflection.
I will definitely join again!”
"Jen created a well-thought out and relatable atmosphere and experience for renewal.
As a LEOW, she gets it!
I appreciated feeling seen and poured into."

Maybe you are looking to learn how to better support your officer; Maybe you are looking to make space to better support yourself.
Maybe you want to learn what the career might bring as you walk the initial years of the job; Maybe you want to explore how this life looks different than what you initially thought.
I was inspired to name my business “Climbing Mountains Consulting” from a quote that recognizes that we do not need to carry the weights of our experiences. In a similar spirit, this Grit & Grace Gathering retreat was inspired by the recognition of the strength and compassion it takes to walk this life beside our officers.
I can't wait to meet you on November 14th 2026!
This is your invitation to exhale. Grit & Grace Gathering
